Summary:
The last day of work at that company was May 2008. The claimant was paid vacation pay, a severance pay and a retention bonus pay. The company itself referred to these monies as a retention bonus that would be payable to the employees who remained on the job until their services would no longer be required. It was clearly stated as not being a production bonus but being a retention bonus. In those circumstances, the monies paid to the claimant are subject to allocation under sections 35 and 36 of the EI Act. The appeal of the Commission is allowed by the Umpire.
